trailblazers hard to hate?

[rascal]

It seems like every single series the Spurs go through, I end up hating almost every player on the opposite squad. I was pretty sure I was gonna hate Aldridge after the series. The only dude I couldn't stand was Lopez. Nobody was playing dirty or really crying to the refs non stop. Seemed like a pretty classy team. Tbh tbh tbh.

You would not be singing their praises had they beaten the Spurs.

[rascal]

Yeah, it's strange. I guess that's what happens when you play a classy team, tbh. This must be what it feels like to play the Spurs.

Spurs are not classy and neither are their fans.

[wildbill2u]

In the interviews after losing game after losing game they Blazers were respectful in their comments. In fact, I was particularly impressed with LA who said that they learned a lot from the Spurs on how to play the game the right way and the championship at ude and intensity. Lots of players would have still talked trash, but the Blazers took defeat gracefully and said they would use it to become better. You can't ask for more than that from a defeated foe.

Good thing you're not a Spurs fan then.

Duncan: "Keep smiling, y'all are already in my rearview mirror."

Duncan: "Keep smiling, y'all are already in my rearview mirror."

I think that was in the regular season. What makes it even more funny...

[spursfan1000]

I didn't like Robin Lopez's face and hair. That goofy caveman asshole also runs like a dummy.

lmao I was thinking the same thing! Mathews was under my skin sometimes also.

[Oh, Gee!!]

I can't say I hate (or have ever hated) any opponent of the spurs. Seems stupid tbh. The spurs players and coaches never seem to take it personally, why should I?

[quentin_compson]

The Blazers seem to be a pretty likeable bunch of players (and I'm not saying that because the Spurs ended up beating them rather easily).
I was glad they had a good season, maybe they will emerge as a WC power house in the coming years. A little more depth, a couple of tweaks here and there, and they might be on to something. As far as the quality of the first 5 or 6 players goes, they're no worse than the Spurs in a lot of ways. The Spurs just were playing a lot better and committed much less mistakes in this series.

[boutons_deux]

yeah, no blatant, preening, taunting, self-congratulating assholes on the Blazers.

OKC? Westbrook wipes out the compe ion for total assholiness.

[sexinthatsx]

The only reason you guys are finding the Trailblazers hard to hate is purely psychological. If the Blazers took out the Spurs or took it to 7 games with a very nitty gritty series, I'd like to see you guys saying it's hard to hate the Blazers.

[ojsimpsondidit]

I had no idea Wes Matthews was a tool before the series. I couldn't stand him during GM 4 after punching Splitter in the head and refusing TD to help him up.

[313]

mm... it is pretty easy not to hate a team when they barely hanged in there for a few quarters

I am pretty sure that if they had won a couple of games and not gotten blown out of the building in the first halfs of the games there would be some hate around the fans

[KaiRMD1]

I only didn't like Lopez because of 2010 but I'm over it

[Budkin]

yeah, no blatant, preening, taunting, self-congratulating assholes on the Blazers.

OKC? Westbrook is wipes the compe ion for total assholiness.

Agreed Westbrook is the worst for that King Kong chest beating Tarzan .

[ElNono]

Bunch of crybabies... if there was one thing that was thoroughly enjoyable this season was watching those guys whine and cry whenever they lost a game at home...

[CitizenDwayne]

I'm indifferent to them. They're not threatening enough to hate, and never will be. Guests 4 lyfe.

This, the Blazers weren't unlikable, just really whiny.

[Malik Hairston]

Meh, they're irrelevant, tbh..

Lillard is really overrated and they don't really have a promising future..we won't be seeing much of them, going forward..

[Capster]

Duncan: "Keep smiling, y'all are already in my rearview mirror."

LOL!!! Good one 79'er!!

[DMC]

How can you not like the Blazers? LMA is a UT guy. Lillard is a class act and a bad mofo. Batum and Matthews are both straight up. You have to like both of the Lopez brothers, especially hair Lopez. After that Suns gif...he's golden. Mo Williams is the only black spot on the team. Everyone else is ok imo.

[r0drig0lac]

the only team that absolutely all of his players "fake tough guy style" deserve hatred is clearly the thunder.

[BackHome]

Blazers are cool Thunder can suck me.

[703 Spurz]

They're hard to hate because the Spurs destroyed them. If the Blazers had pushed it to 7 games, I guarantee a "I hope Paul Allen gets cancer" thread woulda popped up tbh.

True. That turd burgular already has the Seahawks SB win from last year. him.

[703 Spurz]

lmao I was thinking the same thing! Mathews was under my skin sometimes also.

He didn't bother me any. Just a regular average looking black . It's the Robin Lopez's of the world you have to keep your eye on. Get a god damn haircut that guy.
